He added: "In a long interview, I was saying, 'Can you be negative about other bands? And which bands would you pick to be negative about where it wouldn't hurt their feelings or influence them?' And I said, 'Well, Radiohead would be one. No one would care. It wouldn't affect them if you said Radiohead sucked.' And then I went on to say how you might say Radiohead suck…

"I actually don't like Radiohead. I don't have any regard for them, positive or negative. Which, I guess, is negative."

Friedberger also reportedly joked that he was originally going to apologise for his quotes by saying he was due to enter rehab and therefore wasn't thinking straight.
